Άλλο ένα συνέδριο πραγματοποιείται από την Επιτροπή Κεφαλαιαγοράς, από τα πολλά στα οποία συμμετέχει εδώ και πολλούς μήνες. Αυτή τη φορά το συνέδριο αφορά τα βιώσιμα χρηματοοικονομικά THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE FINANCE, με γνωστούς πανελίστες και καλεσμένους από την Ελλάδα και το εξωτερικό.
Το συνέδριο πραγματοποιείται την Τετάρτη 29 Ιουνίου στο Μέγαρο Καρατζά της Εθνικής Τράπεζας και δεν θα μπορούσε να απουσιάζει ο οικοδεσπότης, ο πρόεδρος της Εθνικής Τράπεζας Γκίκας Χαρδούβελης. Μεταξύ άλλων θα μιλήσουν υπουργοί Χρήστος Σταϊκούρας, ο αναπληρωτής υπουργός Οικονομικών Θ. Σκυλακάκης, ο υπουργός Ανάπτυξης Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης, ο οικονομικός σύμβουλος του Πρωθυπουργού Αλέξης Πατέλης, τρεις τραπεζίτες (δεν εμφανίζεται κάποιο στέλεχος της Eurobank), και πολλοί άλλοι.
Πάντως από συνέδρια, δημόσιες σχέσεις και εκδηλώσεις πάμε καλά, για να γνωρίζονται καλύτερα ελεγχόμενοι και ελεεγκτές. Από επενδυτές έχει ξεμείνει η ελληνική κεφαλαιαγορά, όπως φαίνεται και από την συμμετοχή/αποχή των επενδυτών στο Χρηματισστήριο Αθηνών.
